[Geoserver-devel] Recovering proposal pages: where?

GeoServer GeoServer Developer
1

Hi,
just wanted to ask where exactly the proposal pages should go?

Last I remember the idea was to put them in the github wiki,
and just found out that the wiki can be cloned via git too,
just use:

git clone https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver.wiki.git

and you’ll get the current geoserver wiki on disk.
Not sure if we want to have them in the geoserver wiki or in
the geoserver.github.io wiki, but I can access only the former,
and the documentation is in the geoserver one anyways.

Anyways, let me know if you have a strong preference.

Cheers
Andrea

Ah, btw, I was trying to do a space export in XML, but it seems that even with a subset of 5-6
pages it takes forever.
However… Jody script works off the exported XML, so… anybody has suggestions?
It kind of feels like the database backing confluence has lost all indexes, just to export
a few pages after a couple of minutes it’s still saying “looking for objects to export”

Cheers
Andrea

Eventually managed to get an export of all proposals

Nice, I hope you got subpages as well as that quite often has the useful
content.

It looks like http://rancor.boundlessgeo.com is now gone, so I may ask you
to share your download with me.

Here is the script used to convert from confluence to RST files (for use
with sphinx).

https://github.com/uDig/udig-platform/blob/master/docs/src/main/java/html/BulkConvert.java&lt;https://github.com/uDig/udig-platform/blob/master/docs/src/main/java/docs/ConvertConfluence.java&gt;

The heart is simply calling pandoc to convert from textile to rst:

System.out.println("/usr/local/bin/pandoc --columns=100 -o \"" +
rstFilePath + "\" \""
                + htmlFilePath + "\"");
        String run = new String { "/usr/local/bin/pandoc",
"--columns=100", "-o", rstFilePath,
                htmlFilePath };
        try {
            Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(run, null,
htmlFile.getParentFile());
            int exit = process.waitFor();

Since the github wiki supports textile you may just want to copy the
content over as is, and then replace the confluence link syntax with that
provided by hit hub? i.e. no conversion required:

1) create wiki with test page
2) checkout
3) copy textile pages over directly
4) cleanup the mess

So we have two options:

  1. https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki

Here is the wiki you are referring to, near as I can tell participation is limited to geoserver contributors.

  1. https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver.github.io/wiki

This is the wiki associated with the website. I kind of like using this one as we can allow more members write access to website+wiki then the codebase.

Right... except I cannot access it via git checkout, but I can checkout the
1) instead..

I think you have to turn on the wiki for (2) to work, basically create one page and then we should be able to check it out.

It looks like I missed this one but i actually think it makes more sense on (1). Although if we can clone wikis (that is cool, didn’t know it was possible) can we push to hem as well? If so that would be an easy way to transfer.

Yes, that's what I did for the proposals recovery:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver.github.io/wiki/Proposals

It actually allows you to do more than direct editing, you can add images
in the checkout and refer to them,
whilst from the wiki front end it seems you're bound to put stuff outside
of it
